Hey all~
Okay, this will be a bunch of questions because I want to make sure I'm right. I tend to be clumsy but this GC has no room for that! I will super-appreciate the ones who are willing to answer
It would be awesome if you could add your additional knowledge regardless if someone replied before. Super duper thanks in advance!
1) My number is in the 26,000's while the 27,500's will be current in May..(meaning I'm current May right?)
Yes
2) So I'm gonna send my I-485 on the first of May. Is this possible? Or do I have to wait until they send me some letter with instructions through mail?
Send it, they won't contact you.
3) I will send to them my:
a. I-485
b. IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) certificates. Because I didn't have to finish high school thanks to these (so technically I didn't finish high school).
c. Birth certificate COPY, in Dutch Language (I was born in Dutch), Indonesian language (translated from dutch), Indonesian translated to English, and Dutch translated to English ( equals 4 papers). Is this too much?
No, not at all.
d. Police records: It says "Each applicant aged 16 years or older must submit police certificates to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate at your interview.". I never committed a crime, do I still have to do this step?
No.
e. My Selectee notification letter.
f. Passport copies of my visa.
and the bio page in passport, and I-94 copy.
4) From my understandings, all these has to be COPIES, not original. Am I correct?
YES!
5) I don't need to submit those that do not apply such as court and prison records, marriage records, deportation records, etc if it doesn't apply to me right?
Correct.
6)Do I have to send pictures of myself along with this? How many?
Yes, two pics with your name and DOB written behind.
7) Last picture I took was about a year ago, but in the correct format. I do not look different. Can I use it?
Go ahead and get new pics in a post office or fedex, tell them for passport.
8) Do I have to send my DSP-122 and DS-203?
No, you should have sent those to KCC already.
9) Do I have to send my ORIGINAL medical examinations (the one that is sealed)?
YES!! Make sure it is sealed.
10) Is there anything else I'm missing? Please please do think throughout
There are a few lists posted in this thread before, please check with them.
11) While sending my I-485, I need to send the money order of $1070 to the Department of Homeland Security. Correct?
Hmm, I don't remember, please look at the USCIS site, i-485 instructions.
12) Do I need proof that UCSIC granted me eligible for AOS? I asked the twice through the phone, both granted me. But the phone is no proof.
If you received the e-mail from KCC that acknowledges your intent to AOS, send a copy of that.
13) Do I need to send my DV payment receipt?
Yes, a copy of it
-------------------
So after all this, am I correct that as a foreign student, I do NOT need:
I) My parent's proof of work documents.
II) transcripts of grades
You have to send a copy of your current I-20, and sending a transcript is a really good idea, and you need to send a letter that proves that you are still a student, talk to your int'l student advisor to get a letter.
You'll also need a letter of employment if you are employed on campus, otherwise some other proof that you have enough finances to qualify for DV.
-------------
Besides this, when and how can I do my biometrics? Who do I contact and do I have to do it after I send my I-485? Do I have to wait until I-485 acceptance before I can do biometrics?
They'll contact you about the bio date.
-------------------------
I've been doing research but there is no one site that gives me a complete list. I hope that you fellow experienced AOS friends can help me out
Sorry if some questions sound 'obvious', but I'm actually really quite unsure.
Thanks all!!!
